"From its seductive opening line to its nerve-wracking finale, Deborah LeBlanc's Grave Intent is a first-rate suspense novel, filled with genuine dread, plenty of surprises, and fully-realized characters. I defy you to put this down after the first 2 pages-it can't be done."

"As flawless as a mortician's hand, Deborah LeBlanc entices us with Grave Intent. She deftly plays on our worst fears of the unknown, building to a fever pitch that will have readers' hearts racing. At times tender, at others terrifying, Grave Intent is like standing on a Ferris Wheel, tottering over the edge until you fall. Wickedly intense and remarkably original, LeBlanc is a welcome voice in the world of horror."
--Scott A. Johnson--Author of An American Haunting

"A powerful haunting tale of curses and death, rendered all the more poignant by the sense of impending doom hanging over the innocent family involved. LeBlanc's writing is filling with passion and dread."

"Deborah LeBlanc's second novel Grave Intent proves that her first novel Family Inheritance was no stroke of luck. Smart and suspenseful in plot, clear in its delivery, Grave Intent is one delightfully readable tale that will stick to your mind long after you set it down. Never have gypsies been so frightening, their threat quiet yet entirely certain in this story of spiritual vengeance and curses. A read with the lights on thriller!"
--Michael Laimo, Author ofThe Demonologist

"Deborah LeBlanc's prose is smooth, quick, and as darkly beautiful as the midnight bayou. Creepy as hell and guaranteed to satisfy!"
--Bram Stoker Award-winner Brian Keene, Author of The Rising

"Restless spirits, mysterious gypsies, and impending doom- Grave Intent kicks the southern gothic into high gear, raising hackles throughout. Deborah LeBlanc proves herself one of the best new voices of modern horror, weaving together a plethora of spooky events to tell this tale of a family caught at the gateway between life and death. With echoes of Stephen King's Thinner and a beautifully realized deep south setting, LeBlanc's new novel belongs on your must-read list!"
--William D. Gagliani, Author of Bram Stoker nominated, Wolf's Trap

"LeBlanc has taken up the standard of Anne Rice and given it a new twist-right through the heart of everyone fascinated with horror and suspense. The atmosphere she evokes is thick with dread and dripping with surprise. She makes other so-called fright authors look the part of boy and girl scouts."
--Robert W. Walker, Author of Absolute Instinct and Final Edge

"Deborah LeBlanc understands the rhythms of family life and uses them to chilling effect in Grave Intent. She possesses a fresh voice and skillfully navigates the murky swamps of the human heart. I suspect Deborah LeBlanc has a long and successful career ahead of her."
